[rancid] Rancid-cvs: command not found

[Wagner Pereira]

Hi, there.

I am following the README file for install Rancid in my Debian lenny.

When I run the rancid-cvs command (step 7), it showed me:
rancid-cvs: command not found

How can I fix that?

[Wagner Pereira]

Ok, John, but how should I do that?

Hugs.

you need to set your path enironment variable in your shell to include
the location of the rancid executables or use the fully qualified path
name for the command.

Sorry, you need to read. This is basic unix knowledge. see the manual
page for your shell and most unices have intro (man intro) manual pages.

run
updatedb

Then
locate rancid-cvs

Then run the complete path to rancid-cvs
i.e.
/usr/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs

Perfect, Ismail! Thank you. (You see, John Heasley? It's not too
difficult to help).

That's what I did:
1. updatedb
2. locate rancid-cvs
3. /home/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs

No conflicts created by this import

cvs checkout: Updating switches-PoP-SP
Directory /home/rancid/var/rancid/CVS/switches-PoP-SP/configs added to
the repository
cvs commit: Examining configs
cvs add: scheduling file `router.db' for addition
cvs add: use `cvs commit' to add this file permanently
/home/rancid/var/rancid/CVS/switches-PoP-SP/router.db,v <-- router.db
initial revision: 1.1

Now I can go ahead with the README file.

Hugs,

There is a good reason he said you need to read. Two people have posted tutorials to get the software setup. You most likely just ran rancid-cvs as a user that is not rancid, which is going to cause more issues further down the line. BTW, John is the author of the program, I think he does a lot already.

Ok, Ryan and Lance. I got your "message".

And about John, I didn't want to offend him.

By the way, I am doing the configuration as root (#) and now, I gave a
step ahead: I am stucked at the step 8.

I copied the router.db.5 file for the <basedir> like router.db

Should I need to create each entry manually in this file?

These always help me, make sure you don't skim through the installation. Do each step and try to understand what you are installing so when you are troubleshooting you can fix the issue much quicker.

As you are using Debian Lenny, why not using the Debian package(s)
(rancid-core/cvs/util)? It's in the standard repositories. If you use
the Debian package you get a streamlined install with proper uid/gid,
and other permissions.

Sorry, this is not the unix help list. i already made an effort to
give you clues off-list. you made no effort to find the answer yourself.

go to google, enter "command not found" (with the quotes) and click "I'm
feeling lucky". the result has the answer:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-command-not-found-error-and-how-to-get-rid-of-it/
it was that easy.

Please make an effort to find your own answers before asking hundreds of
folks on a mailing list to do it for you. and my appologies to the list
for this mail.
